Shopping with John & Rudy
My wife and I ran into John Edwards in the shampoo aisle the other night...For the record, we didn’t see John Edwards pick out any hair products in the store. He used the regular checkout lane, chose plastic over paper, and put his own cart away before leaving. Edwards may have gotten two overpriced haircuts on the campaign trail, but when he’s home, hanging out with his kids, he goes to the grocery store like everyone else. That should count for something.
Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani hasn’t done a lot of grocery shopping lately - at least based on his answers about the cost of milk and bread… “A gallon of milk is probably about a $1.50, a loaf of bread about a $1.25, $1.30,” he said.
A check of the Web site for D’Agostino supermarket on Manhattan’s Upper East Side showed a gallon of milk priced at $4.19 and a loaf of white bread at $2.99 to $3.39. In Montgomery, Ala., a gallon of milk goes for about $3.39 and bread is about $2.
